Hurricane

Music: Keith Stegall/Stewart Harris/Thom Schuyler Lyrics: Keith Stegall/Stewart Harris/Thom Schuyler Lyrics: Keith Stegall/ Stewart Harris/ Thom Schuyler Music: Keith Stegall/ Stewart Harris/ Thom Schuyler 30 miles off the Gulf Stream, I hear the south wind moan The bridges getting lower, The shrimp boats coming home The old man down in the quarter, Slowly turns his head Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle and this is what he said I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain Underneath the Louisiana moon I dont't mind the strain of a hurricane It comes around every June The high black water the devil's daughter She's hard, and she's cold and she's mean But nobdy taught her It takes a lot of water To wash away New Orleans A man came down from Chicago He's gonna set that levee right He said, It needs to be at least three feet higher or it won't make it through the night The old man down in the quarter said, don't you listen to that boy The water'll be down by the morning And he'll be back to Illinois I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain Underneath the Louisiana moon I dont't mind the strain of a hurricane It comes around every June The high black water the devil's daughter She's hard, and she's cold and she's mean But nobdy taught her It takes a lot of water To wash away New Orleans 30 miles off the Gulf Stream, I hear the south wind moan The bridges getting lower, The shrimp boats coming home The old man down in the quarter, Slowly turns his head Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle and this is what he said I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain Underneath the Louisiana moon I dont't mind the strain of a hurricane It comes around every June The high black water the devil's daughter She's hard, and she's cold and she's mean But nobdy taught her It takes a lot of water To wash away New Orleans I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain Underneath the Louisiana moon I dont't mind the strain of a hurricane It comes around every June The high black water the devil's daughter She's hard, and she's cold and she's mean But nobdy taught her It takes a lot of water To wash away New Orleans But nobdy taught her It takes a lot of water To wash away New Orleans Lead Vocals: Lilian Balkcom Bass: Steve Mackey Banjo: Powell Balkcom Electric Guitar: Jerry McPherson Backing Vocals: Eleanor Balkcom/Powell Balkcom Acoustic Guitar: Eleanor Balkcom Mastering Engineer: Pete Lyman Drums: Jerry Roe Fiddle: Andy Leftwich Mixing Engineer: Trina Shoemaker
